Scott Bessent ran to Fox News to “clean up” Trump’s disastrous Laura Ingraham interview… and somehow made it worse. His new spin? That Trump actually meant he wants to import H-1B workers to train Americans.
In this episode:

• Why the “H-1B workers will train Americans” excuse is pure nonsense
• The growing pattern of Trump aides insulting voters’ intelligence
• Why competent economic messaging matters — and why gaslighting never works
• The question no one in DC seems to ask anymore: do these people have any self-respect?

Americans deserve honesty — not cleanup crews running behind bad interviews with a mop and a smile.
